Favorite Scenes - I Am Legend (2007)

"Bob Marley had this idea. Kind of a virologist idea. He believed that you can cure racism and hate; literally cure it, by injecting music and love into people's lives. When he was scheduled to performed at a peace rally, a gun man came to his house and shot him down. Two days later, he walked on stage and sang. Somebody asked him, "Why?" He said, "The people who are trying to make the world worse are not taking a day-off. How can I? Light up the Darkness!"

Rest in peace legendary Reggae star Bob Marley who would have celebrated his birthday today. Truly an icon and his music will live on forever. Will Smith has always declared himself a huge Bob Marley fan and his movie 'I am Legend' was a low-key tribute to the reggae star as well. In this scene Robert Neville (Will Smith) professes his respect for Bob Marley to another survivor Anna (Alice Braga). Neville listens to Bob Marley for inspiration and idolizes him as a role model, as he seeks to cure the world from darkness.
